Blanco might be Giants' fourth OF: The Sports Xchange reports Giants OF Gregor Blanco appears to be a candidate for the season-opening roster. The Giants don't have much outfield depth. Newcomers Angel Pagan and Melky Cabrera join right fielder Nate Schierholtz. Otherwise, infielders Brandon Belt, Aubrey Huff and Emmanuel Burriss are possible outfield backups. So if the Giants kept a genuine outfielder to be the No. 4 outfielder, Gregor has a chance. (Updated 01/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
The ex-Brave and Royal, who batted .283 in 85 games in 2010, will enter spring training as a non-roster invitee. Blanco spent all of last season in the minors and hit a disappointing .201, so clearly he has a lot to prove this spring. Even if he makes the team, it will be as a reserve outfielder. There is no need to worry about Blanco on Draft Day. (Updated 01/23/2012).
